WINNER: Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality 2022
The Flop: A Band of Idiots had a two-week sell-out Edinburgh run on the PBH Free Fringe in 2022, following a sell-out run in 2021 (the smallest Edinburgh Fringe since it first started.) Claire Smith writing for Beyond The Joke described the show as 'a miracle'. Kate Copstick (The Scotsman) wrote that 'No matter how bad a day you have had, The Flop will make your heart sing'.
